Instructions

1. 1Cut the about 910 g of pork shoulder into 2.54 cm cubes. Place the pork cubes in a bowl and season them evenly with the 1.5 tsp of salt and 0.5 tsp of black pepper.
2. 2Heat the 2 tbsp of olive oil in a large, heavy-bottomed pot or Dutch oven over medium-high heat, about 205°C (200°C). Add the seasoned pork cubes in batches, ensuring the pot is not overcrowded, and sear them until nicely browned on all sides, about 2-3 minutes per side. Remove the seared pork from the pot and set it aside on a plate.
3. 3Add the 2 large onions, diced into 0.635 cm pieces, and the 4 cloves of garlic, minced, to the same pot. Sauté them over medium heat, about 150°C, stirring occasionally, until they are softened and translucent, which should take about 5 minutes; do not let them brown.
4. 4Stir in the 2 tbsp of sweet paprika and the 1 tbsp of tomato paste to the pot. Cook, stirring constantly, for 1 minute until the mixture is fragrant.
5. 5Return the seared pork to the pot with the onion and paprika mixture. Pour in the 2 cups of beef broth, stir everything together, and bring the liquid to a gentle simmer over medium heat, about 150°C. Once simmering, reduce the heat to low, cover the pot tightly with a lid, and let it simmer gently for 1.5 to 2 hours, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking. The pork is done when it is very tender and easily falls apart when poked with a fork.
6. 6While the pork is simmering, cook the 1 cup of rice. Combine the 1 cup of rice with 2 cups of water in a small pot. Bring the water to a boil over high heat, about 204.4°C (200°C), then reduce the heat to low, cover the pot tightly with a lid, and simmer for 15-20 minutes, or until all the water has been absorbed and the rice is tender. Remove the pot from the heat and let it rest, covered, for 5 minutes, then fluff the cooked rice with a fork.
7. 7Serve the tender pork pörkölt spooned over the fluffy cooked rice.
